A new Trinity study shows that treatment for ‘legal highs’ dropped to virtually nil.
IN THE YEAR after the ban on headshops was introduced, those presenting to treatment services for the abuse of ‘legal highs’ dropped to virtually nil.
That’s according to a new study of the impact of the 2010 ban by researchers at Trinity College Dublin.
The study looked at two separate groups of adolescents attending drug and alcohol treatment services in Dublin. It sought to examine the problematic use of novel psychoactive substances (NPS), or so-called ‘legal highs’, among those seeking treatment.
